Abstract: The tracking of hydrodynamic disturbances within the sea surface and near-surface layer and surface layer aerosol is performed using three different installations, a laser locator, photometer of sea brightness, and elastic aerosol lidar. The experiments are carried out under the natural conditions of the Black Sea polygon. A surface vessel was a source of hydrodynamic perturbations in the form of a lagging track. The results reveal the efficiency of the methods used to record ship tracks in three media.

Keywords: remote optical probing, surface sea waves, surface aerosol, hydrodynamic source of excitation.
